I did a couple more of these Russell Green River patch blades in two different handle materials I thought you might like to see This one is a Mexican Ironwood burl from the Baja Region. It has a local name,"Una Del Gato" , wich translates I think to "cat's claw". Seems the tree this comes from...

Thanks All for the warm welcome. I gotta be honest,I love all this stuff on this forum. The muzzleloader idea,is overwhealming to me now that I have found this site,because there is so much here. The Persona sub forum has my attention. My wife is our Boy Scout Troop leader hear in our community...

This one is what they call a "belt" knife. I put a hand rubbed finish on the blade. 1/8" nickel pins,I hand peen & dome them,then try to leave a nice hammered finish. They are smooth to the hand. This is India Sambar slabs. Knife has a "saddle" in the slabs for a righty and ring & pinky finger...

OK so I hear what you are saying too modern. So I fooled with bras pins& tried to get a "hammered" look/finish What I ended up with looks like gold nuggets,lol Look close,they are smooth to the hand though This knife is a different Russell pattern but I tried to leave the hammered finish on...

Thanks for that Jim

Those are gorgeous James. Thank You for showing them,-Vince

Could you direct me to where I could see this catalogue ? TIA -Vince

Your version is inspiring. Hmmmmmm..........

I'm working on hammered finished looking pins on the stag ones I try to leave the handles a little on the fat side,since it's small,fatter seems to feel better. Thanks for the comments. I really enjoy making these.

I make these using Russell Harrington Green River blades.I will be doing more patterns too,I am really enjoying doing it. Alot of guys are really liking these handy knives. One of my friends sewed a pouch in the strap of his possibles bag for one. But I know a fella Ray from WildBoar Blades & I...

PA 1740 many moons ago I worked in New Paltz on a project. The fella I worked for bought up alot of stuff & our quarters were on Harolds honey bee farm,with the bears on 55. Do you recall that place ? Are they still operating ?
